Former footballer Gabriel Agbonlahor shared his thoughts about Arsenal's tough start to next season. The ex-Aston Villa player looked at the Gunners' first six games and made some bold predictions. Arsenal will face Manchester United, Leeds United, Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Newcastle United right at the beginning.

Agbonlahor thinks Arsenal will struggle during these opening matches against strong teams. He told talkSPORT radio that Mikel Arteta's squad will only earn seven points from those six difficult games. The pundit expects Arsenal to draw with Manchester United away from home during their season opener.

Leeds United should give Arsenal three points at their home stadium according to his predictions. Liverpool will beat Arsenal when they visit Anfield for that away match. Nottingham Forest might lose narrowly when they travel to North London for their game.

Manchester City will prove superior when they visit Arsenal's ground for their clash. Newcastle United will also defeat Arsenal when the Gunners make the trip up north. Agbonlahor believes Arsenal performs poorly at Newcastle's stadium based on past results.

Seven points from eighteen possible represents a disappointing start for any Premier League club. Arsenal finished as runners-up behind champions Liverpool during the previous campaign. The former England striker thinks such poor early results would create problems for the team's season ambitions.
